    It won’t validate outside of the <body> or <head> tags. It also won’t make much difference — unless you’re doing DOM manipulations that could break IE before the body element is fully loaded — to putting it just before the closing </body>.

    <html>
      ....
      <body>
         ....
         <script type="text/javascript" src="theJs.js"></script>
      </body>
    </html>
